Bt Share Discussion Threads

Hope you're right Ham, trading updates from both BT and VOD next week. If they're good would hope the share price will get a nice lift. We shall see.....

I say it will stay over 200p.
I believe the share price is bottoming out, whether it revisits the last months lows for a second kiss, I don't know.
But as I am investing here for the medium to long term, short term share price movement (whilst it is commentable on) isn't really of any consequence to my investment here.
I think there is a lot of potential with this company, it is operating in the right areas and just needs to sort costs and modernise management and work othos.

MM want to lock in those who bought around the low 200p before it goes ex divi...

[montyhedge] 20/7/2018 08:29

Let's see how it pans out. I say under 200p coming weeks you say ?

[hamhamham1] 20/7/2018 08:24

Monty. So if it heads up to ex divi, to say 225-230p, then ex-divi it will be 215-220p. From ex-divi point I can't see a 10-15% drop in share price to get down to 192p. Just my view. Capital loss is only realised if you sell when it goes down, rather than wait and hold for it to go back up.

[montyhedge] 20/7/2018 08:20

192p ex div my target, unless there is a good rns.BT may run up towards ex div date, investors thinking nice 10.55p in the bag, yes, but will lose it on capital.BT price drifting and shares don't drift up.Just my opinion.

Vodafone will be better off out of India. I think the gov there uses telecoms as a sacred cash cow, rather than a piggy bank as this article headlines.

[diku] 20/7/2018 08:11

monty...is there unfinished business awaiting at 200p?...

[montyhedge] 20/7/2018 08:10

BT I think is a value trap. Dividend 10.55p ex 9th August. I reckon when ex div will fall more than 10.55p, at current price say 218p will come down to 206p.I feel bears will push to get below 200p. My view only.

KT, a telecom operator in South Korea, said 5G mobile network technology is expected to create 30.3 trillion won in socio-economic value in 2025, 1.5 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).

The report, issued last week by the KT Economics and Management Research Institute (KT EMRI), forecasts that number will increase to at least 47.8 trillion won or $42.2 billion, 2.1 percent of GDP, in 2030.

KT will be launching the world’s first nationwide commercial 5G mobile network in March next year. Some of the 5G use cases explored by KT would include augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and autonomous driving.

“5G will be used in combination with other key future technologies like AI, big data and IoT,” Kim Hee-Su, head of the KT EMRI, said.

The KT EMRI’s 5G analysis examined South Korea’s 10 major industries — automotive, manufacturing, health care, transportation, agriculture, security and safety, media, energy, logistics and finance.

Yes your right bore everyone. Go and bore Waldron.

Just to bore everyone a bit more about BT Radianz...

For more than fifteen years, the BT Radianz Cloud has supported the world’s largest secure networked financial services cloud community. And over all of those the years we’ve consistently celebrated awards for our financial technology services portfolio, something we’re very proud of.

This latest award further reinforces that the industry appreciates that BT knows and understands its customers and has the capabilities to help them address their industry challenges.”
- Michael Woodman, Head of Radianz, BT

The vendor’s scale is impressive, to say the least. In 2016 alone it added 101 new customers and 3,313 service connections. It also added 13 new content providers—of which it has over 400—and over 130 new applications.

And on the acquisition front, in February, BT acquired IP Trade, a Belgium-based provider of unified communications and collaboration technologies for trading floor environments and command-and-control dispatch centers. The deal was made to bolster BT’s voice trading and turret solutions, which Radianz underpins.

With advancements like these, don’t be surprised to see BT back in the SST Awards winners’ circle this time next year.”
- Anthony Malakian, News Editor, Waters; Deputy Editor Buy-Side Technology



Radianz services provides applications for market data, buy-side, sell-side, liquidity, and clearing and settlement to support traders in the global capital markets.

ps. in 2018, BT won the:
Best Cloud Provider to the Sell Side: BT
Best Sell-Side Trading Network: BT

thanks alan :)

[alanr1] 18/7/2018 20:06

I understood what you said iceman, I think :-) - you would rather go for an undervalued share at a low PE than one with a high PE that might not deliver! Me too!

[iceman82] 18/7/2018 17:14

where does it said i compered them? i only tried to explain that i see bt undervalued....

[fidgas] 18/7/2018 17:07

Bum! Stumble....

[toon1966] 18/7/2018 15:42

Why are you comparing BT with Amazon...….?

[iceman82] 18/7/2018 14:50

sorry toon , if you want me to answer you directly then no , i think bt will face more fences to jump over, but i much rather invest in company with pe of 8 then lets say amazon (pe of over 250), look we can all sit and argue , but lets wait and see whats happens over next year,

[iceman82] 18/7/2018 14:43

toon lets not forget this company makes 2 billion earnings pet year , it would be different if i would pay £5 and wait for recovery but i have bought relatively small amount at 202.6 ( small amount because if price go below my average then i will load more), ex divi and new ceo announcement should push share price higher ....

[fidgas] 18/7/2018 14:13

Hey all - here's hoping that today finishes as the first positive day in a short while! is that the bulls warming up for charge I can hear or will it end in a stumble...

[toon1966] 18/7/2018 14:03

Ham - did I ask you? NO...… and please quit the IMO you really are getting very boring...…..

[hamhamham1] 18/7/2018 13:59

Toon. There are issues which need tackling.
They have cut costs.
They have synergy cost savings from EE merger.
They have put a plan together to sort the pension deficit.
Now growth will come with a new boss, and a refocus on their core business IMO.
It's still at the beginning of the turnaround but I believe decisions are being made which will make this company shine again.

[toon1966] 18/7/2018 13:45

ice - I take it you believe all the issues which drove the share price down are now behind BT and that we can ignore basic fundamentals of the BT Group business?
